Probability experimental and theoretical

What is experimental probability?

• Experimental probability is calculated using theoretical formulas only.

• Experimental probability is obtained from conducting an experiment and observing the outcomes.

• Experimental probability is based on historical data.

• Experimental probability never changes.

How is experimental probability calculated?

• Experimental probability = Total number of outcomes / Number of favorable outcomes

• Experimental probability = Number of favorable outcomes - Total number of outcomes

• Experimental probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomes

• Experimental probability = Number of favorable outcomes * Total number of outcomes

What is theoretical probability?

• Theoretical probability is based on past outcomes.

• Theoretical probability is based on random guesses.

• Theoretical probability is based on personal beliefs.

• Theoretical probability is based on all possible outcomes.

How is theoretical probability calculated?

• By subtracting the number of favorable outcomes from the total number of possible outcomes

• By adding the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of possible outcomes

• By dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes.

• By multiplying the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes

What is the difference between experimental and theoretical probability?

• Experimental probability is based on actual outcomes, while theoretical probability is based on mathematical calculations.

• Experimental probability is based on theoretical calculations, while theoretical probability is based on actual outcomes.

• Experimental probability is used in controlled environments, while theoretical probability is used in real-world scenarios.

• Experimental probability is always accurate, while theoretical probability is an estimation.
